Medical Transcription And ChemotherapyFeb 02, 2013
I have a question for any MT who is undergone chemotherapy. About a year ago, I was diagnosed with cancer.

At the time I had my surgery, with the help of the hospital's social services, I applied for SSI/SSDI. After I had recovered from surgery, my oncologist had recommended that I try to work ...

Alice In Wonderland Does Transcription. Excerpt FromAug 09, 2010
Alice never could quite make out, in thinking it over afterwards, how it was that they began: all she remembers is, that they were running hand in hand, and the Queen went so fast that it was all she could do to keep up with her: and still the Queen kept crying `Faster! Faster!' but Alice felt she could not go faster, thought she had not breath left to say so. The most curious part of the thing was, that the trees and the other things round them never changed their places at all: however f ...

McConnell: May I Have A Plausible Explanation From Those In Transcription?Nov 06, 2014
As I mentioned yesterday (and from what I have read from others since my last visit), I, too, have become an independent because of the nonsense I have seen from both parties. That in no way means that I am for the abolition of parties, because I do believe one party often reins in the other, when the other goes "whack :) In fact, I believe we may need MORE parties for those of us who don't agree with the whole kit and caboodle of a single party. However, I think the problem today ...
